Next week I am headed to Germany and will be back in early April. Originally I was planning to have updates ready to go that I could just quickly post from an internet cafe, but then I decided against that. I'm not sure how often I'll be stopping at cafes and I wont be working on any posts while I am there, leaving a huge amount of work to be done when I get back. So the posts I have been working on will be coming up as soon as I get back at their regular weekly interval.

You may have also noticed that I have been working much more on the Rally Notes project than the Perfect Lap one, and there is a good reason for this. The GIS industry has a yearly conference in San Diego, CA put on by ESRI and I will be there showing off the Rally Notes project. Last year I took 3rd place in category with a map I designed for the city I work for. This year I'm hoping the Rally Notes project can take home a 1st place in category and maybe even best overall? Probably not the latter but I can hope! The conference is in July, but I would like to be ahead and really have my work looking spectacular for the judges. So that means you will be seeing a lot more done for the Rally Notes project, but I will post news for the Perfect Lap as well, just not nearly as often. There is work being done for it though, as I have been building the data model for my small scale testing which I will run at Adams Motorsport Park in Riverside, CA. Its a go-kart track that allows time attack on Tuesdays. Time attack on a go-kart track seems rediculous to me, but I think its a great place to test everything before heading to Laguna Seca or Fontana. Once I get back from Germany I'll be finishing up the data for the track, building a hypothetical perfect lap and then heading out there myself. I'll have the Ralliart hooked up with my data logging equipment and we will see how it goes. I'll have pictures and video as well to help document it all.

Also starting when I get back will be the expansion of the website. Right now the only active section is this blog but I'm putting together rough sketches of what I will be adding. I don't want to talk about it too much right now, as things can change depending on what I'll have at my disposal. But soon after I get back I should have a news post up explaining things in greater detail.

Lastly I just want to say thanks again to those who have been supporting the site and sending me comments and critiques. And if you have an idea for a topic or addition to the site feel free to let me know!
